3. Lehighton Wrestling I am proudly a part of the Lehighton Middle School wrestling team. I wrestle the 82 pound weight class.

4. Wrestling is my all-time favorite sport and favorite thing to do.

5. The sport of wrestling is extremely exciting. Being out there on the mat is an incredible feeling. It is a mixture of nervousness, excitement, and thrill.

6. Learning how to wrestle Wrestling is a very exciting sport to learn. Even if you have wrestled your entire life there is still more moves you can learn. There is an endless amount of moves that you can learn how to do and master. By learning different takedowns, escapes, and various pinning combinations you make your own unique style of wrestling that works for you.

7. The most exhausting part of wrestling is practice. At wrestling practice we have to do energy-draining conditioning, non-stop wrestling, and difficult lifting. Although sometimes we do play enjoyable games.

8. To have your hand raised after a long and exhausting match is an incredible feeling. You feel so accomplished that you just won the match.

9. Going to tournaments One of the best parts of wrestling is going to all-day tournaments. Although waking up at 5 in the morning is very tiring, tournaments are very fun. After your own match you can go and watch your various teammates wrestle. Being around your team at the tournament and hanging out is incredibly fun.

10. After the tournament is the best part. All of your hard work pays off. If you wrestled well enough to place in the top 4 you receive a gold, silver, or bronze medal and your picture taken on the podium. It is a fantastic feeling standing above the other wrestlers on the top of the podium, which is 1rst place.

11. Districts is where all your hard work and training pays off. Districts is the huge tournament at the end of the year with all the teams from your district. If you trained and wrestled intensely all year this is where you want show it. If you place in the top 4 at this extremely important tournament you go to regionals, then states, and then maybe even nationals.

12. There is so many different moves to learn, the tournaments are very exciting to go to, and you get to use all your newly acquired skill from the season at districts. Wrestling is definitely my favorite sport.
